Sorry, I meant conv-tools:
https://github.com/dag-erling/conv-tools
It works best if you have an idea which 8-bit encoding was used to
create those files.
(I used to work at a university that had NetApp filers configured for
ISO-8859-1 and staff members of all nationalities who had their
endpoints set to their native language instead of the local one; I wrote
conv-tools to assist support staff in cleaning up users' home
directories after they were migrated to newer filers configured for
UTF-8.)
